It was so amazing. They made it so interesting, and to me they really captured the relationship between bella and kristen beautifully! It was so awkward and cold but at the same time it was true love. There were times when you wanted to be a vampire and times when you were scared of them. You went back and forth between Jacob and Edward. It was a thriller but it was the romance going on. I think they did a really good job with all of it, and i hope New Moon is just as good!

Yeah I read the book long before the movie was even talked about, it is different, they changed some things. But i still think that the movie is better, my friend however thinks the book is way better. So everyone has their own opinion, I just think the movie is a lot more suspensful. (i think i spelled that wrong. :))

UPDATE Nov 24, 2009: For more Twilight fun, check out my list, You might be a Stephenie Meyer Vampire if.... Before I begin, two caveats: 1) SPOILER ALERT: This review contains spoilers... all over the place. If you're a 13 year old girl and want to be surprised to find out the really pale super dreamy troubled teenager is actually a vampire... stop reading now. 2) I'm not a 13 year old girl, so I … more

Before I start this review, I want to make this quite clear. I am not a twi-hard nor will I ever be. I only watched this to have a running commentary of the movie and we shall do the same for New Moon and Eclipse. Twilight certainly is an interesting cultural phenomenon, and this movie marks its transition to the big screen. I, however, am a teenage girl and these films were marketed towards my age group and that makes me feel sort of compelled to watch it to analyze it. Anyway, I'm getting … more

Generally, I’m suspicious of popular trends in entertainment and I avoid exposing myself to any books or movies that I perceive to be conformist, populist, or over-hyped. Most of the time my instincts regarding pop culture are dead on, however there have been some notable exceptions (I was wrong about the Harry Potter novels, which were extremely well-written as well as being successful commercially). But I didn’t expect much when it came to the film adaptation of … more

Interviews with Vampires Trends in the entertainment world are something that we always watch closely. Everyone looks for what the next hottest fashion trend will be. We wait to see which A-list celebrity has a baby and what the new name trends will be. And then we patiently wait for the next greatest thing to come about that will clearly dominate all the markets. Well, the wait is over. The newest greatest thing since pizza bread has finally arrived and it is blowing all of its rivals clear out … more

i will say this: had i never read the book, i may have liked this movie. but to bad for summit entertainment, i did read the book and so did a WHOLE lot of other people. it was (or at least seemed to be) really low budget. aside from pattington, who had some notable acting experience, the rest of the acting was really bad. some of the minor supporting actors shined brighter than Bella's character as far as acting goes. and the vampire makeup effects were awful. it looked like baby powder mixed … more

The Twilight Books have become popular all on their own. They've made a huge dent in the literary world (albeit, for all the wrong reasons, but see my reviews for that). With becoming such mega huge bestsellers, it's no suprise that they opted for a film. And while my expectations for the film were low heading in, I'm sad to say that they couldn't even fulfill that. As I kept watching, my only real thought was... how much worse can it get? … more

More than any other movie released last Fall, I so wanted to hate Twilight & actually made a special point to avoid it at all costs. You might even ask what changed my mind or why I'd bothered going at all. Hell, why write a review for the film? Surprisingly, this was actually somewhat better than I thought & somehow I felt compelled to write up a small one for you guys. Hmm. Empty spot in my schedule, right? Ha! As anyone will tell you, Twilight has been the … more

Being a vampire lore enthusiast, I have seen a very good amount of vampire films. Of course, I would check out this vampire movie based on the best selling book by Stephen Meyer called "Twilight". Please understand that I have not read the book (yet) and obviously this type of movie would attract audiences based on the book's popularity and that this film does know its intended audience--teenage girls or hopeless romantics. I will try to be as objective as I can, I … more

Wiki

Twilight is a 2008 American romantic vampire film based on Stephenie Meyer's popular novel of the same name. Directed by Catherine Hardwicke, the film stars Kristen Stewart and Robert Pattinson. It is the first film in The Twilight Saga film series. This film focuses on the development of the relationship between Bella Swan (a teenage girl) and Edward Cullen (a vampire), and the subsequent efforts of Cullen and his family to keep Swan safe from a coven of evil vampires.

The project was in development for approximately three years at Paramount Pictures, during which time a screen adaptation that differed significantly from the novel was written. Summit Entertainment acquired the rights to the novel after three years of the project's stagnant development. Melissa Rosenberg wrote a new adaptation of the novel shortly before the 2007–2008 Writers Guild of America strike and sought to be faithful to the novel's storyline. Principal photography took 44 days, and completed on May 2, 2008; the film was primarily shot in Oregon.

Twilight was theatrically released on November 21, 2008, grossing over US$392 million worldwide. It was released on DVD March 21, 2009, and became the most purchased DVD of the year. The soundtrack was released on November 4, 2008. Following the film's success, New Moon and Eclipse, the next two novels in the series, were produced as films the following year.
